No stranger to cross-cultural praise and worship among Christians, Larkins earned a B.A. in Bible and music composition from Colorado Christian University, and served traditional church, youth and various African groups leading in worship and praise. She now studiously serves the body of Christ by transcribing psalms for singing and reflection, and by mentor-counseling.
"When I opened up my book, I got out my guitar and just started going through the psalms. It was so much fun, and surprisingly, I could play them by ear. I was swept up by it all and started to just jam out. Churches need these. We will start doing Psalm-Hymns for our Saturday evening service, kind of an 'evensong' idea before the message, more contemplative." (Worship guitarist, Colorado) "Psalm Hymns is the next retreat song book!" (worship leader, Kansas) Timothy Raymond (an editor for Credo Magazine, Indiana) submits, "The Psalms are prescribed and authorized for worship throughout God's kingdom, and without them, our worship is censored, uninformed and incomplete. 'Psalms, ' in the Hebrew means 'Praises'." "Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God." Colossians 3:16 (HCSB) "What an amazing resource and tool for worship!" says Mike Flack, Owner/Operator of LaunchPad Studios recording YWAM's School of Worship albums. "This book can be used personally or corporately as a new collection of songs for worship, a small group study, or even a modern day hymnal."
